My Jazz Story

John Harrington Full Moon Sessions: H4 Expanded is his newest release that has hit streaming platforms April 2, 2024. A note from John... 2023 was a rebirth of musical expression for Mr. Harrington. After the death of one of my many fathers, I came across a Lunar calendar in Loveland, Co. that was created in Long Beach, California. It struck me in a profound way and started a cascade of memories past, present, and became a catalyst for the future. Later that afternoon, I stumbled into a record store and found Freddie Hubbard- Liquid Love- with my man Henry "Skipper" Franklin on bass. I bought it and as I walked out of the store I remembered Our Love's Divine was recorded at the Full Moon in 2000. I started telling the story of that moment and the Full Moon Sessions of 2023 was born- I will be forever grateful for the musicians who brought their talents and creativity to these Full Moon Sessions and dedicate this one to Bill Schenk- "One of the good guys" Love's Divine
